The inside of the restaurant looked elegant; I loved the dark interior and the fancy tables. They have an extensive menu, I had trouble choosing. They are fairly priced too. I ordered one specialty roll and it was delicious. Not only was it fresh, it was filling. I ended up paying less than $20 for a single meal; not bad for dinner time. My friend ordered a variety of items and everything was delivered quickly to the table. In the end they give you a delicious, tiny piece of cheesecake... I was pleasantly surprised. I really want to come back or try other locations. It was a 9.5/10 for me.

Ok. No big deal. I needed to do a nit of work over dinner. They do not have public internet. "The manager did not alllw it". I got the hot stone bowl which came with ginger salad, miso and rice, mixed vegetables, bulgogi beef and a fried egg. Miso was good. Ginger salad way too acid. The bowl was sizzling hot which is good but be warned it took about an hour to cool enough to eat. The bulgogi beef was only a garnish. I'm not kidding. One tiny shaved piece of beef. Flavor was good to mediocre. My waiter was reasonably attentive. But I will not be back.

Tonight I opted for some seaweed salad, two rolls (Incredible and Dancing Eel), and the Bourbon Tso's Chicken. Last time I didn't like the Curry Udon, so I'm going to give a different Entre a try. The service is friendly and the atmosphere quiet. There are only a couple of other customers here. I normally get sake but it's actually really warm out today, so I'm gonna pass and just go with some water. The seaweed salad came out quickly. It was really cold and crisp, just the way I like it! Yum. My Entre came out before my sushi rolls. Bummer. My mouth is watering in anticipation. I must be hungry. The sushi rolls are large so they will be filling. So far they both are delicious. These were a good choice. I'm not sold on the Bourbon Tso's chicken. It's essentially fried chicken nuggets with a watery glaze sauce on them. I think it would taste better if the sauce was thicker and less tangy. Im not sure what makes it bourbon? I couldn't get any hints of that in the taste. I'm glad I have the sushi to keep going back to, because it is really tasty. I like this place, I will definitely be back, but I think I'll pass on their entree in the future and just stick with the sushi. This is twice now, I've not liked the main dishes. Overall, I think this spot offers a nice dining experience.
